Open 65d

At Snowflake, we are powering the era of the agentic enterprise. To usher in this new era, we seek AI-native thinkers across every function who are energized by the opportunity to reinvent how they work. You don’t just use tools; you possess an innate curiosity, treating AI as a high-trust collaborator that is core to how you solve problems and accelerate your impact.

Its innovative approach allows Snowflake to precisely test and measure the impact of changes on individual customers, making it essential for ensuring the platform’s reliability, correctness, and performance. Through query replay, Snowtrail helps us catch regressions early. By leveraging machine learning models to intelligently sample queries and workloads, we continuously optimize for both cost and performance. Evolving Snowtrail to incorporate new engine features while improving scalability, efficiency, and reliability is central to our continued success
